Mont Oriol: or A Romance of Auvergne

by Guy de Maupassant

Mont Oriol is a novel by Guy de Maupassant set in the mountainous region of Auvergne in France. The story centers on Christiane, a young bride who travels to a spa with her sickly husband. She soon finds herself entangled in a web of deceit, involving her father, the Marquis, and a group of dubious medical professionals. As a new spa emerges, the social dynamics of the resort are disrupted, leading to romantic intrigue, financial machinations, and a satirical commentary on the status of women in society. Maupassant's vivid prose paints a picturesque backdrop for this story of love, deception, and the complexities of human relationships.
